OpenAI Thinking Of Building A Humanoid Robot

The Information claims that OpenAI has recently investigated creating its own humanoid robot. “Two people with direct knowledge” of the discussions are cited in the study. With financial support, the ChatGPT creator has been active in the market for a while. In addition to the “general purpose AI” company Physical Intelligence, it has so far made investments in Figure and 1X.
OpenAI gave up on these goals in 2021 after discreetly shutting down its robotics branch. In the last three years, there have been significant advancements in both hardware and the AI systems that support it. A redesigned OpenAI robotics section would have a lot of catching up to accomplish in an already competitive new field, barring some expensive startup acquisitions.
